Intoxicated man got angry at homeowner who kicked him out and decided to urinate on his porch.

The New York authorities were recently confronted with one of most bizarre cases of petty theft and home invasion in the last couple of years. According to the police report, an intoxicated man stole a pack of beef jerky from a 7-Eleven store and urinated on a homeowner’s porch.

Intoxicated Man Wandered into Randolph House After Stealing Beef Jerky

According to the New York State Police, this rather peculiar incident occurred on Saturday evening, and it began with a 7-Eleven staff member reporting a theft. The investigation revealed that someone broke into the shop and stole a pack of beef jerky before vanishing into thin air. However, that wasn’t the end of the story.

Following the 7-Eleven break-in, the authorities were summoned to a Randolph house by a person who declared that an unknown individual refused to leave the premises. Upon arriving at the location, the law enforcement officials arrested 26-year-old Dustin Waite. His story is unlikely to be forgotten in the next few weeks.

Apparently, Waite drank a little too much at home and decided to have a snack. As the nearby 7-Eleven store was closed at that time, the intoxicated man simply broke in and stole a pack of beef jerky.

Instead of going home to munch on his ‘spoil of war,’ Waite simply wandered in the Randolph home and refused to leave despite the owner’s objections. Eventually, the victim managed to throw Waite out of the house and to lock the door behind him.

Conclusion

Vexed by this sudden turn of events, the intoxicated man became violent and, as a sign of protest, he broke one of the home’s windows and urinated on the front porch. Not even the arrival of the authorities didn’t dissuade the intoxicated man from his actions.

As a result, Waite was arrested and charged with petty theft, petty larceny, resisting arrest, and criminal trespass.

The Michigan police officer who lost his finger in freak accident has 11 sick children.

A Michigan Police officer has been placed on medical leave after a freak injury he sustained in the line of duty. The man has been with the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office for 29 years, handling arson cases, and training police dogs.

Michigan Police Officer Has 11 Children with Various Illnesses

Tom Kangas, an Oakland County Sheriff’s deputy was recently forced to take a medical leave following a freak accident which occurred while he was on duty. According to his colleagues, Kangas’ right hand was almost crushed when an excavator’s grappled bucket accidentally closed.

The man was rushed to the hospital where the doctors determined that his middle finger was badly damaged and had to be removed. Moreover, the Michigan police officer also sustained nerve damage during the accident.

Kangas underwent two surgeries after the accident. Although the doctors managed to restore most of the hand’s functionality, they’ve told Kangas that he will need to start favoring his left arm from now on.

As a result, the sheriff’s deputy must relearn how to shoot his service gun with his left hand and perform everyday activities such as brushing his teeth or taking a shower.

Rebecca, his wife, told the reporters that her husband is slowly recovering, but the biggest challenge he has yet to overcome is managing his pain.

Regrettably, Kangas’ injury means that he will have to settle for a smaller paycheck. However, his colleagues were able to help him get 80 percent of his normal salary.

Conclusion

The Michigan police officer, who is also the father of 11 children, declared that even with a full salary, money is tight, as most of his and his wife’s earnings go to their children’s surgeries and medication. Kangas said that his children suffer from various medical issues such as hydrocephaly and Chiari malformation.

To help him with his recovery and his children’s treatment, Kangas’ colleagues set up a GoFundMe account. Up till now, they’ve managed to raise over $10,000.

A California teacher has been placed on administrative leave for injuring student during gun safety class.

A California teacher and reserve police officer were placed on administrative leave after his weapon accidentally went off during a public safety class he held at the Seaside High School on Tuesday. One student was injured during the event and was transported to the nearest hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Unclear if California Teacher Was Allowed to Bring Weapon on Campus

On Tuesday afternoon, at around 1 p.m., the California authorities were summoned to the Seaside High School, an institution located south of San Francisco. The caller told the 911 operator that a weapon went off during class and that someone might be injured.

First responders arrived after a couple of minutes and took a male student to the nearby emergency room to received treatment for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the neck area.

According to the official report, the incident occurred at around 1:20 p.m., during a public safety awareness class held by Dennis Alexander, a Seaside High School teacher, city councilman, and a reserve officer.

Allegedly, while delivering the lecture, Alexander drew out his service gun and pointed it towards the ceiling. The man was just to explain the attendees about pistol safety when the weapon went off, the slug hitting the ceiling.

Moments later, a male student collapsed. The authorities are unsure whether the victim’s neck injury was due to the bullet from Alexander’s gun or debris from the ceiling.

Conclusion

Pending a complete police investigation, the California teacher was placed on administrative leave. Although Alexander is allowed to carry a weapon since he is a reserve police officer, the authorities don’t know if he was granted permission to bring a firearm on campus.

The student injured during the California teacher’s lecture has been released from the emergency room a couple of hours later.

A Minnesota man has recently been arrested after the authorities learned that the suspect urinated in a co-worker’s water bottle after the woman rejected him.

The Minnesota authorities have had to deal with a most peculiar case of work-related harassment. A 47-year-old man from Minneapolis has been taken into custody and charged after they’ve learned that the suspect has been urinating in a co-worker’s water bottle.

Minnesota Man Said Woman Restaurant Worker Refused His Advances

Last week, the Minnesota authorities arrested 47-year-old Conrrado Perez, a restaurant work, who, reportedly, harassed a female co-worker on more than one occasion, after the woman refused his sexual advances.

According to the Minnesota authorities, the whole things came to light following a workplace harassment complaint filed back in October 2017 by Perez’s co-worker. The woman told the authorities that soon after leaving the room where she left her water bottle, she would return only to find that the water inside tasted like urine.

She added that this happened on more than one occasion. Following the woman’s complaint, the authorities arrested Perez and charged him with adulterine a substance with bodily fluid.

During his police interview, the 47-year-old Minneapolis resident admitted urinating in his co-worker’s water bottle but did not do it because the woman refused his advances. According to Perez, his work’s in the restaurant’s kitchen was very demanding and would often keep him away from the bathroom.

As a result, the man merely used the woman’s water bottle because he could not leave the kitchen. However, the woman’s statements paint an entirely different picture – ever since she refused Perez’s advances, it would appear that the man has been tormenting her.

Conclusion

The facts, in this case, are far from being clear, the authorities still investigating the woman’s claims. Following Perez’s arrest, the prosecutors have ordered DNA tests to determine if the man’s outrageous gesture was a one-time thing or not.

As Yoselyn Ortega’s trial, more horrific details emerged about how the killer nanny butchered the Krim’s children. This week, Marina Krim, mother of slaying Leo and Lucia Krim, was called to court to testify against the woman she trusted her children to. With tears in her eyes, the woman recalled the moments leading to the discovery of the bodies.

Killer Nanny Waited for Krim to See Bodies Before Slashing Her Neck

During her time in court, Marina Krim told the jury about how she discovered Ortega horrendous deed. The woman remembers that, on that day, Ortega was supposed to take 6-year-old Lucia ‘Lulu’ Krim to dance school.

However, when Ortega failed to appear, Mrs. Krim rushed home to see what’s the delay. The woman recalls entering the apartment, which was completely dark, save for a little light coming from the bathroom.

Upon entering the room, Marina Krim had the shock of her life – stacked in the bathtub were Leo and Lucia’s blood-covered bodies. Leo was so badly injured in the attack, that he was nearly decapitated. Krim recalls screaming at the top of the lungs for help, while Ortega kept a close watch in the next room.

Seeing that she could not escape, the killer nanny took the kitchen knife she used to butcher the children and slashed her own throat. Minihan told the jury that when she saw running away, he got a close look at her eyes, which he described as ‘having something evil in them.’

Furthermore, according to Krim’s testimony, the woman waited until she came home and saw the bodies before committing suicide.

An AME Toledo pastor, wife, and daughter accused of beating Sunday school teacher and stealing her belongings.

A Toledo Pastor and his wife were recently taken into custody after allegedly robbing and threatening to kill a woman during Sunday school. Both were charged with aggravated robbery using a deadly weapon. Following the incident, the parishioner required medical attention.

Toledo Pastor and Family – No Motive for Robbing Sunday School Teacher

According to the Toledo authorities, during Sunday school at the church located on Belmont Avenue, 49-year-old Anthony Morris, an AME Zion Church Pastor, his wife, and daughter allegedly assaulted the teacher and emptied the contents of her purse before fleeing the scene.

The victim is 39-year-old Nickema Turner, the Sunday School teacher, who declared that she is well acquainted with Anthony and 39-year-old Zelda Morris, his wife. According to the woman’s affidavit, the Toledo pastor entered the church accompanied by Zelda and their 19-year-old daughter.

Allegedly, Zelda grabbed Turner’s hair and began punching her. Anthony also shoved the victim and grabbed her purse while their daughter stood guard at the entrance. Right after the Toledo pastor shoved Turner, he started rummaging through her purse.

According to Turner, the pastor stole two bottles of prescription pills, a cell phone, and a taser. Also, Turner told the authorities that, before leaving, the Toledo pastor pulled out a gun, pointed it towards her and threatened to kill her if she whispers a word.

Several minutes after the suspects left the building, the authorities arrived and took the Sunday school teacher to the hospital. Morris and his wife were arrested later that day and charged with aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon, which is a first-degree felony.

Conclusion

An arrest warrant was issued for Morris’ daughter, but the authorities have yet to determine her whereabouts. Following the couple’s arrest, the law enforcement officers were able to retrieve Turner’s stolen items, save for the cell phone whose screen was broken by the suspect.

Donald Smith, the man who tortured, raped, and murderer Cherish Perrywinkle might face a death sentence.

On Tuesday, during the trial of 61-year-old Donald Smith, accused of kidnapping, raping, and murdering 8-year-old Cherish Perrywinkle, the medical examiner on stand broke in tears as the girl’s post-mortem pictures were shown on screen. If convicted, the accused could face life in prison or death.

Cherish Perrywinkle and Family Lured in Walmart by Smith

Dr. Valerie Rao, the medical examiner who conducted 8-year-old Cherish Perrywinkle’s post-mortem examination and autopsy became emotional in court as the prosecutors displayed pictures of the tortured and murdered child.

Following Rao’s reaction, the defense attorney invoked a mistrial but was overruled by the judge who requested a respite.

According to court documents, back in June 2013, Donald Smith, who got out of jail back in late May, lured Cherish Perrywinkle’s family at the local Walmart under the pretense of buying them food and clothing.

Rayne Perrywinkle, the 8-year-old’s mother, was, at first, reluctant, but accepted as soon as Smith told her that his wife has a $100 Walmart coupon. After entering the store, the man left holding Cherish by the hand.

Seeing that something was amiss and fearing that the man might harm her daughter, Rayne called the authorities and told that Smith abducted her daughter. Later, Cherish’s body was found several miles away, near a marshy area.

Conclusion

According to the post-mortem examination, the 8-year-old was raped, tortured, and choked to death by the individual. Smith was later arrested and charged with first-degree premeditated murder, sexual battery, and kidnapping.

During the trial, Smith faced away from the screen where Cherish’s body was displayed and refused to take a look at the pictures. If he’s found guilty, Smith, who has a criminal history dating back to the late ‘70s, might be sentenced to life in prison or death.

San Angelo gunman allegedly entered the house to shoot the family’s pet dog.

The San Angelo Police Department recently arrested an individual who reportedly gunned down a dog and injured his owner. The suspect fled the scene but was apprehended later that day during a house search.

San Angelo Gunman Entered House with the Intent of Killing Dog

On Wednesday, several police officers with the San Angelo Police Department were summoned to a home near Volney and East 11th streets by a caller who said that an armed individual entered the house and shot the family’s dog.

The authorities arrived at the location at approximately 12:55 a.m. and discovered 45-year-old individual bleeding severely from a gunshot wound. Upon questioning the eyewitnesses, the officers learned that the armed suspect, who was acquainted with his victim, entered the house, and shot the family’s dog and the 45-year-old victim.

Allegedly, before fleeing the house, the suspect also threatened to kill a 41-year-old woman who witnessed the event. The man was transported to the hospital and received treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.

Upon interviewing all the witnesses, the authorities determined that the suspect fled on foot and was later sighted at the 1200th block of Volney street. After obtaining a house search warrant, the law enforcement officers entered the home of 35-year-old Efren L. Delatorre, believed to be the San Angelo gunman.

A search of the premises revealed a weapon and the ballistic exam determined that it was the same weapon used during the attack. Delatorre was booked into the Tom Green County jail, where he’s being held on a $50,000 bond.

Conclusion

Following the event, the San Angelo gunman has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Taking into account that the suspect gunned down the canine before wounding his acquaintance, he could also be charged with cruelty to a non-livestock animal.

Psychotherapy professor declared that gut feelings could be explained by a brain Wi-Fi.

The life-long quest to find a scientific explanation to gut feelings seems to be at its end following the statement of a South Yorkshire based clinical psychotherapy professor. Digby Tantum of the Sheffield University announced that intuition, considered by many the cornerstone of human thought, could very well be the result of a shared brain Wi-Fi network, capable of processing micro-signals far beyond the conscious threshold.

Gut Feelings Related to Brain Wi-Fi

Intuitions or gut feelings, as they are called, are those little funny people who dwell inside our heads and their job is to give us insight on a problem, without us even thinking about how we could solve that particular situation.

Intuition has always been a subject of arduous debate, in both art and science. For a grasp of the obvious, gut feelings can help us make quick decisions long before our rational side has had a chance to go through all the facts.

Professor of Clinical Psychotherapy Digby Tantum has discovered that gut feelings have a common denominator with Wi-Fi networks. To explain how gut feelings work, the professor and his colleagues wheeled in a new type of psychological phenomenon called the ‘interbrain.’

According to Tantum’s mystically-ingrained interbrain, all human brains are somehow interconnected through a Wi-Fi network which, in turn, allows us to make decisions based on various type of micro-signals.

What that boils down to is that one brain can establish a direct connection to another one and by following this thread, one person could understand another person without having to process information on a conscious level.

Another implication of Tantum’s interbrain theory might be laughter. This shared brain Wi-Fi connection, capable of decoding hundreds of thousands of micro-signals, can explain why we burst into laughter when we hear and see another person laugh.

The sense of smell also plays an important role in the inner workings of the interbrain. As Tantum pointed out, the proximity of the orbitofrontal cortex to the nose could explain why the sense of smell can be considered the cornerstone of human connections.

Conclusion

In his book ‘The Interbrain,’ professor Tantum also warned that prolonged exposure to online communication mediums could result in a total alienation of this Wi-Fi connection, making us lose track of all the micro-signals perceived in a face-to-face conversation.

The actuators use liquid and oil to power some electrodes and perform movements

A team of researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder have created a revolutionary type of robotic muscles. They are strong and flexible at the same time, can perceive the movements they perform and, whenever they suffer damage, they can self-heal. However, what is best about them is probably the fact that they are extremely cheap to manufacture.

The robotic muscles are stronger than real muscle, and can heal on their own

The robotic muscles have been called actuators, and have drawn inspiration from real-life muscles. By creating robots equipped with this kind of actuators, researchers would allow them to perform movements just like humans.

To make the robotic muscles work, they filled some elastic material with electrodes made of hydrogel and with oil. Then, they applied some electricity, and the oil started moving around the electrodes. This way, the entire formation started contracting and relaxing just like real muscles, but a lot quicker.

Researchers also took inspiration from the variety of human muscles, and created more types of actuators, each of them performing a different movement. They called these robotic muscles HASEL, which is an acronym for Hydraulically-Amplified Self-healing Electrostatic. However, they are superior to biological muscles as they are stronger, faster, and more flexible.

This technology is extremely cheap

Even the researchers were amazed they could develop such a technology. Eric Acome, the author of one of the studies, explained what is unique about the robotic muscles.

“The ability to create electrically powered soft actuators that lift a gallon of water at several times per second is something we haven’t seen before.”

These muscles are special because they are also self-healing. This property is given by the liquid placed inside of them, which also confers them a lot more advantages than those mechanisms using solids. In the end, the material which keeps the liquid, the oil, and the electrodes is extremely cheap. It is a type of polymer similar to the one used for potato chips bags, and can be manufactures for only 10 cents.

Researchers published two studies on the robotic muscles, one in the journal Science and the second in the journal Science Robotics.Image Source: PxHere
